A few of these schools are a mystery to me. SUNY-Albany? Who knew? And Cal-Davis, isn't that an agricultural school? What, are half their graduates going out and starting their own vineyards?

It's a shame that the smaller schools were left off of the list. I'd love to see how Amherst College grads would rank. I knew a number of kids who rejected Ivy League schools in favor of Amherst. |
These lists are totally random...a zillion good schools are missing, but some commuter branch campuses are included? It amazes me that this "study" from PayScale.com made it into the Wall Street Journal and BusinessWeek as if it was really statistically accurate. It's all self-reported, and from the number of schools omitted, it seems that maybe the PayScale.com folks just didn't know anyone from those schools. I've never even heard of PayScale.com, but I do know a PR stunt when I see one.
